FIREFIGHTERS raced to the scene of a crash in Cirencester on Monday after an elderly man was reported to be trapped in his car.
Two fire engines and eight firefighters from Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service were called to Clark's Lane, near Siddington, in Cirencester at about 5.30pm on Monday after reports that a car had driven off the road and into a ditch, after a crash with another.
